48TH UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The 48th session of the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution
submitted by the INCD that urged the Committee to successfully
complete the negotiations by June 1994. The General Assembly
decided that the INCD should hold one session after the adoption of
the Convention during the interim period. The objective will be to
review the situation before the Convention enters into force, in
particular with regard to the implementation of provisions that are
to be adapted to the specific needs of each region. This extra
session will be held on or before 31 January 1995.
